Easy Air Fryer Cherry Cobbler (Canned or Fresh Cherries)
Description
Easy air fryer cherry cobbler with a golden, buttery topping and bubbling cherry filling. Make it fast with canned pie filling or from scratch with fresh or frozen cherries — ready in about 30 minutes, no oven required.
Ingredients
Easy version (canned filling):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 21 oz cherry pie filling
From-scratch filling (optional swap):
- 2 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Whisk flour, sugar, and baking powder; stir in milk until just combined.
- Melt the butter and pour it into the bottom of an 8×8 pan.
- Pour the batter over the butter, then spoon the cherry filling on top. Do not stir.
- Air fry at 320°F for 20 minutes, then continue in 5–10 minute increments until golden and bubbling (about 30–35 minutes total).
- Cool 5–10 minutes and serve warm.
Equipment
- Baking Pan
- Cooking Spray
Notes
From-scratch note: Toss the cherries with sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract and use in place of the can. No need to thaw frozen cherries; add a few minutes of cook time.
Notes
- Cook to golden-and-bubbling, not strictly by the clock.
- Tent loosely with foil if the topping browns early.
- Store 3–4 days refrigerated or up to 2 months frozen; reheat at 350°F for 5–7 minutes.
